Ascension of A'latl & Xalaxos

Long Live Banzala, the Ferryman
After the
Tahosian Civil war, it dawned upon
A'latl that he and
Xalaxos had been manipulated by
Vauldis' treachery. A'latl posthumously pardoned Xalaxos and abdicated his throne. Much like Tahos before him, he wandered into the heart of the Tansin Wilds, disappearing forever. Some say he lived out the remainder of his days in the Tansin swampland at the jungle's heart. After his disappearance, a great Necropolis was built in the center of the swamp, and many tahosians began to send the dead in longboards down the Great Tansian River in hopes that Al'atl might guide their souls to the afterlife. In death, Al'atl was given a new name to match his deific status: 'Banzala', after his kingdom of Ban'zol.
Xalaxos, the Scorned Queen
Xalaxos also gained a following after her death. Cults that worshipped her like a deity constructed the Horns of Xalaxos at the spot of her final demise, a tall, spired temple hundreds of feet tall rising up from the searing heat of a great lake of lava.
There are many rumors regarding the fate of both Al'atl and Xalaxos, but some accounts tell of his appearance at the pinnacle of the Horns of Xalaxos, reconciling with a fiery-haired woman who resembled Xalaxos in life. Xalaxos and Banzala joined
Tahos in a new pantheon of gods.
